JORGE, Beatriz Maria et al. The person with urinary retention: student perception and scientific evidence on the use of portable ultrasound scanners. Rev. Enf. Ref. [online]. 2017, vol.serIV, n.12, pp.19-26. ISSN 0874-0283. https://doi.org/10.12707/RIV16078.
Background: In nursing care and teaching, ultrasound bladder scanners are rarely used for assessing urinary retention. Objectives: To analyze nursing students' perception of proficiency, knowledge, and skill in the evaluation of urinary retention and performance of urinary catheterization, and to identify scientific evidence on the use of ultrasound bladder scanners to diagnose urinary retention. Methodology: Two studies were conducted: 1) Descriptive, with the participation of 305 nursing students (data collected by questionnaire); 2) Integrative review of the literature. Results: In study 1, students reported more confidence in the performance of urinary catheterization than in the evaluation of the person with urinary retention. Study 2 showed that the ultrasound bladder scanner is a technology that provides professional and patient safety, improving teaching and care delivery. Conclusion: The use of ultrasound bladder scanners can improve the complexity of nursing care in urinary retention.
